Poetry in motion

Poetry Path emerging at new Cultural Center

Work crews have been spending the past few weeks developing a Poetry Path that will take visitors around the Lincoln City Cultural Center as part of the new Plaza.

“The Poetry Path is about creating an attraction, something meaningful and interesting, that also speaks to what we are as a people in Lincoln City, what we value, and how we believe that life is meant to be shared in this beautiful city,” Lincoln City Cultural Center Director Niki Price said.

Price said the 440-feet decorated pathway is wide enough to be driven on and is handicapped accessible. The Poetry Path’s estimated cost is $205,000, funded through grants and donations.

“It has aggerates in several different colors in big swaths to make it feel like a riverbed,” she said. “There are also blank spots were there will be words and that’s

Phones to go on lockdown during school

JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc.

Students heading to the classrooms this year at the Lincoln County School District will be greeted with a new cell phone policy, called the Yondr Program.

The Yondr Program utilizes a simple, secure pouch that stores a phone. Under the new policy, every student will secure their phone in a personally assigned Yondr pouch when they arrive at school. Students will maintain possession of their phones and will not use them until their pouches are opened at the end of the school day. Students are required to bring their Yondr pouch to and from school each day and are responsible for their pouch at all times.

“So, we will have phrases about life here, and the people who live and visit here,” Price said. Plaza project

Work to transform the Cultural Center properly along Highway 101 began last spring. See previous coverage of the project with this story at thenewsguard.com.

The overall Plaza project will transform the outdoor space around the historic Delake School building, home to the Lincoln City Cultural Center since 2007. By the end of 2023, the 2.6 acres around the brick schoolhouse will be transformed into a pedestrian friendly outdoor space, filled with dedicated installments of public art, gathering spaces with seating, and sponsored spaces for education and performance, connected by the drive-able meandering pathway.

See PATH, Page 4

Taft Middle/High School

Principal Nick Lupo said the policy means that non-academic devices are not to be used within the school day.

“If students are following the policy, then they will be in compliance,” Lupo said. “The Yondr bag is a tool to help students not feel the need to want to access their phone throughout the day. We will be issuing bags on Monday, Sept. 11 to all students for use. Student will remain in possession of their phone and the Yondr bag. They will lock the bag at the beginning of the day and get it unlocked during lunch and then at the end of the school day.”

In developing the new policy, Lupo said he spent the time meeting with community members, district office staff, teachers and students last year regard-

If students are not following the policy, they will be asked to “pouch up” and return to class.

“If the issue continues, then we will be contacting parents to have a reteach of our policy on campus,” Lupo said. “Taft wants to make sure that all students are following the LCSD policies and engaging in school to pursue their graduation requirements in order to graduate.

According to Lupo, if students need to communicate with parents, guardians or other people for transportation, emergency, or other purposes, then they would follow requests to come to the office.

Coastal Voices receive $2,700 grant

STAFF REPORT

Country Media, Inc.

The Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund (STCCF) has awarded a $2,700 school education grant to Coastal Voices, a 50-voice community choir led by artistic director Rhodd Caldwell. The group plans to bring choral music education into the schools of Lincoln County. Caldwell has been coordinating with music teachers throughout the Lincoln County School District (LCSD)

to design programs for each school that would serve students best. Monies from the grant will purchase sheet music, folders, performance safety equipment such as stools and masks, and rehearsal venue rentals.

“In order for Coastal Voices and similar groups to continue to thrive, there must always be new singers who are eager to participate in

this collaborative art form,” Caldwell said. “Encouraging the students of today to join in group singing is the goal of this locally led and STCCF-assisted effort.”

Caldwell and other choir members plan a series of workshops to emphasize basic vocal technique, the importance of teamwork, the idea that music-making is a safe and fulfilling activity,

and the understanding that song lyrics can become personally meaningful.

“I know I’ll be continually learning as much as I am coaching and teaching,” Caldwell said. “I am so grateful for the opportunity, aided by the grant from STCCF, to bring the joy of group singing to the young people of Lincoln County.”

Use extra caution around school buses

LINCOLN COUNTRY

SHERIFF’S OFFICE

Now that school is back in session, drivers are being reminded of their responsibil ity to stop for school buses displaying red flashing lights. Because buses are large vehicles, the level of difficulty to see around them increases. The outcome of illegally passing a stopped school bus is potentially devastating for children and drivers.

Law enforcement agencies continue to receive reports each year from bus drivers and other citizens about motorists failing to stop for school buses. With nearly 6,000 school buses operating in the State of Oregon, motorists need to be alert.

Oregon law requires motorists to stop whenever the red lights on a school bus are flashing, regardless of the direction they are traveling. The law applies to any roadway with two or more lanes of traffic, including multilane highways such as Highway 101.

The only exception to the law is for divided highways

with two roads separated by an unpaved median strip or barrier, such as in the Lincoln and Gleneden Beach areas. In this case, only drivers on the same side of the road as the bus must stop. A painted median strip or a center lane used only for left turns does not create two separate lanes.

Where this situation exists, all lanes of traffic must stop.

When a bus is flashing amber lights, motorists should prepare to stop. When the red lights begin to flash, motorists traveling in both directions must stop before reaching the bus and must remain stopped until the red lights are turned off. The same rules apply to church or worker buses equipped with amber and red flashing lights.

Please do your part to make our roads safe. Be aware when following any type of bus, that it may be making frequent stops. Following these tips will help reduce the risk of traffic crashes and pedestrian injuries in our community.

JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc.

We may soon learn more about the mystery of what has caused sinkholes to form at the top of Cape Kiwanda, a popular Central Coast dunes vising area in Pacific City.

The soil appears to be falling into large, unstable voids beneath the cliff caused by strong ocean waves. The first sinkhole, discovered in late January, measures about 25 feet across and 15 feet deep.

A second sinkhole, discovered in early May, is about 10 inches away from the first, and measures about 10 feet across and about 30 feet deep. That sinkhole developed within the safety fence of the first sinkhole in

the northwest corner of the lower dune.

Cape Kiwanda is a sandstone outcropping, which is naturally much weaker and prone to sudden changes compared with hardier rock like basalt. While any natural area carries risk, enjoying Cape Kiwanda safely requires visitors to pay special attention.

Even though the spot is marked with barriers, the sinkholes could change at any moment, and others could appear, according to the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD), which manages the area.

The News Guard reached out to OPRD North Coast District Manager Justin Parker for the latest details about

smoke in the Agnes Creek Trail area. North Lincoln Fir & Rescue arrived and extinguished the smoldering stump.

The Plaza site plan, which was Continued from Page 1 formed with community input in 2018 and 2019, offers a redesigned parking area and traffic flow, along with islands, lighting and other upgrades required by city code. The center has partnered with the Lincoln City Percent for Art fund, which provided the Plaza’s first installation: Pete Beeman’s “Poppy” on the southwest corner.

The Cultural Center is also working with the Lincoln City Rotary Club to provide outsized outdoor musical instruments in the northwest corner and the Kiwanis Club of Lincoln City, leading the charge for a playful children’s outdoor arts classroom on the east side.

Price said the project has seen “normal” construction

delays, but overall is on time and on budget. “I believe we are on scheduled to finish by this fall,”

Price said.

An opening ceremony for the new plaza is tentatively scheduled for October, the specific time and day has not yet been released. “This project will provide so much space at the Cultural Center and it will be so much more welcoming, Price said.

“There will be places to gather to have weddings, receptions and concerts, and there will be lighting at night.”

Although the property belongs to the City of Lincoln City, the $3 million develop-

ment is a project of the nonprofit Lincoln City Cultural Center.

Civil West Engineering Services, Shapiro Didway Landscape Architects, and Cascade Civil Corporation are

the project partners with the Lincoln City Cultural Center.

Learn when to switch children from pediatric care to primary care

When will your child graduate from their pediatrician to a primary care provider? It’s important to start this conversation early and have a plan in place well before it is time to make the transition. As your child grows, they should become more involved in their health care and be part of the process and plan.

The American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendation for this transition is not age specific. As of 2017, they encourage the provider, parent and child to make the decision together and consider the child’s specific needs. Previously the academy had recommended age 21 (as of 1969) and age 18 (as of 1938).

Pediatricians and clinics can choose their own average age recommendation, which can be based on personal preferences. Also talk to your pediatrician about recommendations they may have for adult providers.

“There are many reasons to stay with a pediatrician past 18 or 21 years of age,” said Shellie Russell-Skerski, MD, a pediatrician located at Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital in Newport. “Chronic health conditions such as asthma, congenital diseases or other problems are best cared for by a pediatrician.

If your child has special needs, they could benefit from an ongoing relationship with their pediatrician. Mental, physical and emotional health should also be considered before transitioning to a primary care provider or other adult care provider.”

Review these tips to help you plan for this transition:

• Start the conversation with your child and their pediatrician by age 15.

• In Oregon starting at age 14, adolescents can seek treatment for mental and reproductive health care independently. This is another way to have your child start taking an active role in their health care.

• Have your child take on more responsibility as they become an adolescent, such as making appointments and talking to the doctor.

• Keep a file with all your child’s important medical information and have your child start managing it. You will not have access to your child’s medical information after they turn 18 years old unless they grant you proxy access. Discuss this with your child and their health care team.

• Start looking for an in-network provider with your child. It can take a while to find someone who fits the needs of your child and who they will be comfortable with. Prepare and empower your child to take over their health care planning. Work with their pediatrician and together come up with a plan and graduation age that works for everyone. Parents or guardians can request proxy access to help manage their child’s health care needs. Learn more at samhealth.org/MyChart.

Tuesdays, Sept. 5, 12 and 19 | 6 to 7:30 p.m.

Samaritan ArtsCare Program: At its core, creative arts promote the physical and emotional well-being of patients and enhance the overall health care experience. Samaritan patients and employees benefit from ArtsCare, a groundbreaking program that places artists in local hospitals to add the arts into the process of

healing. The program involves specially trained artists who work regularly with patients in areas such as dialysis, ambulatory infusion, medical/ surgical units, cardiac rehabilitation, mental health and the Mario Pastega House.

The artists work with various media including clay, drawing, painting, printmaking, fiber art, mixed media quilting, doll making, fabric crafts and many forms of creative writing. In addition, participating musicians visit Samaritan hospitals regularly to provide the healing sounds of the harp, viola, guitar and voice.

Artists partner with hospital staff to offer workshops for cancer survivors and caregivers. They also complete commissioned artwork for public spaces and patient care areas throughout the Samaritan system.

Community park funding moves ahead

JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc.

Efforts to fund a new community park in Lincoln City are in full swing following a dedication ceremony and unveiling of the final park design.

The ceremony was conducted Aug. 29, on the 6.71acre site located at the former Taft Elementary School site in the Taft District, between SE 50th and 51st Street.

The development and construction of this new community park is stated as the number one goal of the 2016 Lincoln City Parks System Plan and will address a recreation gap in the southern part of Lincoln City, according to Lincoln City Parks and Recreation District (LCP&R) Director Jeanne Sprague.

Lincoln City officials began talks with the Lincoln County School District (LCSD) in 2008 to acquire the property to build a community park. In anticipation of the park, the Lincoln City Urban Renewal Agency built a public parking lot with 61 spaces directly to the west of the park area. The park will offer new amenities to residents and visitors including sports facilities, covered

event area, playground, picnic areas and other gathering spaces.

The News Guard has reached out to Sprague for insight into the funding challenges for the new park.

The News Guard: We understand that funding the new park is the next challenge. Please explain how much the estimated total cost with the final design will be, and beyond what has been collected so far, how will the remaining costs be funded?

Jeanne Sprague: The new park design construction is estimated between $5-7 million, though that can could change. We will have a more concrete budgetary # in the next few months.

Currently, we have $2.3 million obtained for the new park. Our park construction will be phased in accordance to available funding and budget, with plans to start in 2024 – next Spring. Remaining costs will be funded via city budget requests, public fundraising, park amenity sponsorships, and our department continues to apply for grants.

The News Guard: Briefly, update us about the process in the naming the park will engage the community

and when will a final decision about the name be made public?

Sprague: In 2018, a ‘Parks Naming Process’ was put in place to make naming of a City Park an equitable public process. With that policy in mind, we are holding an official ‘Name the Park’ process from 8/29 through 11/30, 2023. Entries can be obtained and submitted here: https:// www.lincolncity.org/departments/parks-recreation/ new-community-park-taft

All entries will be reviewed by the Lincoln City Parks and Recreation Board and Department, city management, with final decision from Lincoln City Council. Winning name entry of this contest will receive one FREE annual membership to the Lincoln City Community Center. All entries must be received by Nov. 30, 2023. Following process, final decision of name will be made sometime in 2024.

The News Guard: Overall, what do you believe this new park represents for the community and for visitors to Lincoln City?

Sprague: This new community park – our first built in Lincoln City in over 20 years – represents community

In The Money

itself. Park projects like this do not happen without input, support and sponsorship from the community – whether you’re a resident or visitor. Our community told us what they want – and we’re delivering. Parks provide health and wellness via mental and physical avenues, opportunities for social interaction, boosts to local economy, and a sense of pride for Lincoln City. This new park will be a gem in Lincoln City.

In an earlier release, Sprague said community input was gathered through online surveys, paper surveys, board and public meetings, and two open houses. At the open houses, the design-build team, led by K&E Excavating, DOWL, and Understory Landscape Architecture, along with LCP&R staff, Lincoln City Public Works staff, and Lincoln City Parks and Rec Advisory Board, shared information on conceptual designs and choices that the public could make. Feedback was obtained from the public on the plans, which formulated the final park design.

State issues latest revenue forecast

Taxpayers to see $5.6B in credits

JEREMY C. RUARK

Country Media, Inc.

A robust state economy should allow Oregonians to see a large tax credit through the Oregon Kicker system, according to the latest state revenue forecast. Currently $5.6 billion will be returned to Oregon taxpayers next filing season. The median, or typical Oregonian is expected to receive a $980 credit. The kicker tax credit goes into effect when the actual state revenue exceeds the forecasted revenue by at least 2%. An amount is then returned to the taxpayers through a credit on their tax returns. The following is the September 2023 Oregon Revenue Forecast Executive Summary prepared by the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis. The economy continues to be in an inflationary boom. Growth is outpacing expectations. The good news is inflation has slowed considerably in the past year. The consensus of economic forecasters is now that the economic soft landing is the most likely scenario. The challenge today

is twofold. First, there are emerging signs that the economy is reaccelerating which means inflation could re-heat at some point in the quarters ahead. Second, this leaves the Federal Reserve in a tough position of trying to thread the needle of raising interest rates just enough to cool the economy and bring inflation down, but not too much that chokes off growth. The initial descent appears to have gone as good as can be expected. However, navigating the crosswinds of waiting for the full impact of past interest rate increases to slow growth even as inflation remains above target is challenging.

Oregon’s economic outlook remains effectively unchanged from last quarter. The labor market is tight, albeit less so than during the reopening phase of the cycle. And as inflation slows, income gains are once again outpacing price increases, leading to rising living standards.

With the economy at full employment, future growth will come from labor force gains driven by a return of positive net migration in the years ahead, along with productivity gains driven by capital investment. The combination of the post-pandemic rise in start-up activity, large increase in federal investment, including in semiconductors, and the potential

of generative AI should all help to boost productivity in the years ahead. Oregon is well-positioned to benefit.

After several quarters of unexpectedly rapid growth in tax collections, Oregon’s state revenue outlook appears to have stabilized. Collections in recent months have tracked closely with the May forecast. Even so, Oregon has yet to go through its first personal income tax filing season of the biennium, and as such, everything remains at risk.

This revenue forecast represents the last look at the 2021-23 biennium and reveals the Close of Session (COS) forecast for the current 2023-25 biennium.

The Close of Session forecast sets the bar for Oregon’s constitutionally required balanced budget, as well as its unique kicker law. The COS incorporates any legislative changes enacted during the legislative session that impact General Fund revenues and folds them into the mid-session (May) revenue forecast that covers the next two years, and forms the basis of the legislatively adopted budget.

This session’s legislative changes were relatively modest in scope, totaling a reduction of $48.6 million in expected General Fund revenues relative to the May forecast.

Total General Fund resources in 2023-25 are increased $437 million com-

pared to the Close of Session forecast. Most of the increase can be attributed to collections of corporate income taxes, which continue to outstrip underlying profit earnings.

Additionally, a larger beginning balance increases resources, a direct result of a larger ending balance last biennium as the accountants closed the books this summer. That increase in revenues at the end of 2021-23 does result in a larger personal income kicker than previously estimated.

Background

The Oregon Economic Forecast provides information to planners and policy makers in state agencies and private organizations for use in their decision making processes.
